Probably, the Indian National Congress formed on 28th October 1885, is the first political party formed in India. Formed under the leadership of Allan Octavian Hume, Dadabhai Naoroji, Dinshaw Wacha, Surendranath Banerjee, Mahadev Govinda Ranade and other prominent personalities, it grew in to a force gradually. It led the Independance struggle. Gandhiji, Jawaharlal Nehru and other leaders strengthened it along with the strengthening of the Independance struggle.
After 126 years since its formation, the present ruling Congress is mired in Corruption charges and lack of governance. It has almost forgotten all the high ideals and socialist concepts it preached before Indpendance and immediately after. Even after 60 years of Independence, the country have more than 50% illiterates, 76% poor and what not? Of course the millionaires and billionaires have grown and increased by leaps and bounds.
A change from the present is required. Everybody will agree.
